specing | Is there a speed-limited version of dd? | 00:55 |
---|---|---|
specing | I'd like to copy one file over another, but slowly | 00:55 |
gnarface | why would you need to do that? | 01:00 |
specing | to prevent the damn ssd using slc cache to pretend that it is fast | 01:03 |
jaromil | hi everyone! a while ago we have announced the https://LEDGERproject.EU a 200k EUR equity-free fund that among other goals leverages Devuan uses for "human-centric solutions" by funding teams with a clear goal and 9 months to dedicate to its realisation. Today we have an on-line public "webinar" basically a video call open to future applicants to ask questions and get help in packing a submission. | 09:17 |
jaromil | Anyone interested is very welcome! infos here https://twitter.com/DevuanOrg/status/1098491167338057728 this is a great opportunity to get public money in good use in Europe, I hope many of you consider applying! | 09:17 |
tyil | specing: make a while loop call dd every 10 seconds, and write only a couple bytes each time around and set the start offset by the number of bytes you wrote already | 11:44 |
specing | tyil: hmm, that would work as well | 12:35 |
jyri | specing: check this thread https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/48138/how-to-throttle-per-process-i-o-to-a-max-limit | 13:51 |
jyri | dd will write at bus/device speed, even if you sleep between writes it will write the amount of bytes at max | 13:54 |
r3boot | That kind of depends how you configure the bs parameter; If you copy byte-by-byte, the overhead per byte can lead to dd not saturating the bus | 13:57 |
specing | shiny, btrfs errors on devuan install image | 14:17 |
jyri | r3boot: if you copy byte-by-byte and sleep even 1/10th of second between every byte you will never hit the problem with the overhead :D | 14:40 |
r3boot | Sure, but you will also never ever be able to write at bus speed then ;) | 14:41 |
roo^y | if the bus speed drops below 50 mph, not even neo can stop it from exploding | 16:42 |
fsmithred | Is that a European bus or an African bus? | 17:11 |
josuah | I'm gonna install devuan at work's vmware... | 21:05 |
josuah | I wish it was qemu or xen (or bare metal if you ask me) but vmware will be better than nothing :) | 21:05 |
KatolaZ | great josuah | 23:25 |
